Update:ย
- SiriusXM has been hit with another class action lawsuit alleging violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), three years after the company agreed to a class action settlement worth $32.4 million arising from claims that the satellite radio service violated the TCPA.
- In a complaint filed Feb. 15 in an Illinois federal court, plaintiffs Julie Campbell, Keith Sadauskas, Diana Bickford and Kerrie Mulholland say theyโve never paid for the radio service but bought vehicles equipped for it. They say the company obtained their contact information through their respective car dealerships and that telemarketing calls have continued โunabated.โย
- However, SiriusXM slammed the lawsuit, saying that while it is a new complaint with new plaintiffs, the case brings the same claims that it already settled with the same lawyers. It said that settlement also included changes to Siriusโ business practices that plaintiffsโ lawyers at the time called โmeaningful.โย ย

SiriusXM has for years been placing unlawful and unsolicited telemarketing calls urging car owners โ including those with numbers on the National Do Not Call Registry โ to sign up for its satellite radio service, a new class action lawsuit alleges.ย
Plaintiffs Julie Campbell, Keith Sadauskas, Diane Bickford and Kerrie Mulholland claim Sirius XM has been making the telemarketing calls in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).ย
Campbell, Sadauskas, Bickford and Mulholland argue SiriusXM is โwell awareโ that it is engaging in unlawful conduct with the telemarketing calls, having reached two settlement agreements in the past decade worth over $60 million.ย
Further, Campbell, Sadauskas, Bickford and Mulholland claim hundreds of consumers have contacted the Federal Trade Commission about having received unsolicited telemarketing calls from SiriusXM.
โEven with all these complaints and the millions spent, Sirius XM has continued its illegal calls unabated,โ the class action states.ย
SiriusXM accused of violating laws from several states in the U.S.ย
Campbell, Sadauskas, Bickford and Mulholland want to represent several classes, including nationwide classes of consumers with telephone numbers on the National Do Not Call Registry and those who registered their numbers with SiriusXMโs company-specific Do Not Call Registry.ย
The group also want to represent subclasses of consumers from Illinois, Washington, and North Carolina who registered their telephone numbers with SiriusXMโs company-specific Do-Not-Call Registry.ย
In addition to allegedly violating the TCPA, SiriusXM is accused of violating the Illinois Telephone Solicitations Act, the North Carolina Telemarketing Lawย and the Washington Do Not Call Statute.ย
Plaintiffs are demanding a jury trial and requesting injunctive relief along with an award of statutory damages for themselves and all class members.ย
A similar class action lawsuit was filed against SiriusXM last month by an individual arguing the company broke the law by using an auto-dialer to send โannoyingโ and โunsolicitedโ sales calls to consumers in Florida.ย
